Rule Challenge Decision Appeal Background. In December of 2017 the Florida Association of American Institute of Architects, Inc. (FAAIA) filed a rule challenge to the Commission’s adoption of Rule 61G20-2.002 (Statewide Amendments to the Florida Building Code) regarding the Code Update Process for development of the 7th Edition (2020) Florida Building Code. In February of 2018 the Division of Administrative Hearings’ (DOAH) assigned Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) ruled that the challenged provisions of Rule 61G20-2.002(2) were a valid exercise of delegated authority as to the objections raised, and the Petition (Rule challenge) was dismissed. The FAAIA subsequently filed an appeal to the District Courts of Appeals (1st DCA). At the August 2018 meeting Justin Vogel repotted that FAAIA submitted their reply brief and a request for oral arguments on July 23, 2018.

ENERGY CODE COMPLIANCE SOFTWARE FOR THE 6TH EDITION (2017) FBC APPROVAL

Chairman Carlson noted that periodically the Commission is requested to consider approval of Energy Code Compliance Software for specific editions of the Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation. The Chair indicated that the last submittal was at the June 12, 2018 meeting when the Commission voted to conditionally approve Energy Code Compliance Software for the 6th Edition (2017) Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation, specifically Right-Suite Universal 2018 using its Right-Energy 2017 module for demonstrating compliance with residential building energy requirements for new construction, single-family homes using the Energy Rating Index compliance method. The Chair stated that at the October 2018 meeting the Commission was asked to approve Energy Code Compliance Software for the 6th Edition (2017) Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation, specifically Integrated Environmental Solutions’, IESVE software for demonstrating compliance with commercial buildings energy requirements using the ASHRAE Energy Cost Budget Method. Subsequently, Commissioner Calleja [for Drew Smith] provided the Energy TAC’s recommendation and Mo Madani provided technical background as needed and answer members’ questions. Commissioner Calleja reported that the Energy TAC met on September 27, 2018 and reviewed Integrated Environmental Solutions’, IESVE software for demonstrating compliance with commercial buildings energy requirements using the ASHRAE Energy Cost Budget Method, and recommended conditional approval. Conditioned on IES revising the software as follows: 1.) The compliance report should be revised to provide for specific documentation of the proposed building design energy measures for the applicable building systems (building Envelope, Lighting, HVAC, Service Water Heating…etc.); 2.) The compliance report should document compliance with the mandatory requirements of Section 11; Energy cost Budget Method of ASHRAE 90.1 – 13; and, 3.)

• Kevin Flanagan: wished participants a safe trip home; and thanked staff for their efforts. XVII. COMMISSION CONSIDERATION OF TACS’ RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THE 2018 I-CODE

CHANGES FOR THE 7TH EDITION, FLORIDA BUILDING CODE (2020)

Chairman Carlson indicated that ten of the Commission’s Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) met in June 2018 to review and make recommendations regarding whether the Commission should include specific 2018 I-Code amendments into the 7th Edition (2020) FBC. The TACs’ recommendations were posted to the BCIS in July 2018. In addition, the Residential Construction Cost Impact Workgroup (RCCIWG) met on July 30, 2018 to provide comments to the Commission regarding the costs/impacts of the I-Code amendments the TACs recommended for approval relevant to the Residential Building Code (amendments identified as impactful). These comments have been incorporated into the TACs’ matrices of recommendations for approval. The Chair noted that the Commission adopted the Review Process for 2018 I-Code Changes and the Revised Scope of Work for the 2020 Code Update Process, 7th Edition Florida Building Code at the August 15, 2018 meeting. In addition, requests for amendments to be pulled for individual consideration (“Consent Agenda Recommended for Approval”, or “Matrices of I-Code Changes With No Action”) were required to be submitted to DBPR in writing by September 3, 2018. The Chair reported that there were many requests for amendments to be pulled for individual consideration, and the Commission would have to decide how they wish to respond regarding the requests in conformance with our adopted process. The Chair strongly urged the Commission to keep the Florida Legislature’s intent for this phase of the Code Update process front and center. The Chair stated that Commissioners making a motion to recommend inclusion of a specific 2018 I-Code change shall identify why the 2018 I-Code change is needed to accommodate the specific needs of this state (Florida) by identifying the relevant criteria used for the determination pursuant to Rule 61G20-2.002. It is critical that the Commission comply with the intent and requirements of Section 553.73 (7), F.S. and Rule 61G20-2.002. I would like the Commission to remember that stakeholders are welcome to propose amendments, including any of the 2018 I-Code changes, for consideration by the Commission during the 2020 Code Update process. Proposed Code modifications should be submitted during the November 2 – December 15, 2018 submittal window. In addition, the Chair stated that the purpose of the current Phase of the Code development process was not to approve I-Code changes simply because your perspective is that the Commission should be keeping up with the I-Codes. The Legislature explicitly determined that the Florida Building Code is the base code going forward, and I-Code changes should be reviewed for whether they are needed to accommodate the specific needs of Florida, and not simply because maintaining conformity is important to some stakeholders. The Chair reminded the Commission that the next Phase of the Code update process would be starting in November, and as he mentioned I-Code changes can be proposed for consideration as a Code modification at that time. The Commission’s Technical Advisory Committees, the relevant code technical experts, will meet March 18 – 21, 2019 to make recommendation on proposed Code modifications, and they will meet again July 8-12, 2019 to consider public comments prior to submitting their recommendations to the Commission. The full Workplan is linked to the October 8, 2018 agenda on the BCIS.

Jeff Blair subsequently reviewed the process adopted by the Commission for reviewing and deciding on 2018 I-Code changes recommended for inclusion into the 7th Edition, Florida Building Code (2020). Jeff noted that the TACs’ recommendations for approval of specific 2018 I-Code amendments were on “Consent Agendas Recommended for Approval” one per TAC consisting of multiple matrices containing amendments reflective of the topical Code areas within the TAC’s purview. These recommendations are posted to the BCIS and labeled: Chart #1: “Tracking Charts with TAC Actions—Accommodate Florida Specific Need.” The matrices of amendments recommended for approval relevant to each TAC will be considered by the Commission as a single consent agenda per TAC. In addition, there are matrices for each TAC representing the 2018 I-Code changes that the TAC took no affirmative action on (“Matrices of I-Code Changes With No Action”). These matrices are posted to the BCIS and labeled: Chart #2: “Tracking Charts with TAC Actions—“No Action.” During the meeting Jeff noted that any Commissioner may pull any amendment off of a “Consent Agenda Recommended for Approval” or off of the “Matrices of I-Code Changes With No Action”, for individual consideration based on public comment (submitted in writing or verbally). If another Commissioner objects, the full Commission would vote on whether to pull the subject amendment for individual consideration after the public and Commissioners have had an opportunity to offer their comments. Following is the sequencing approved by the Commission and used during the review process:

The TACs’ recommendations for approval regarding proposed 2018 I-Codes changes for inclusion in the 7th Edition (2020) FBC are arranged on a consent agenda by TAC. Each TAC Consent Agenda consists of multiple matrices by Code area. The Commission will consider TAC recommendations in the following sequence:

1. “Consent Agenda Recommended for Approval”: Approval of consent agenda of TAC’s recommendations regarding proposed amendments recommended for approval (Chart #1: “Tracking Charts with TAC Actions—Accommodate Florida Specific Need”). The Commission votes to approve the TAC’s recommendations on the amendments, as posted or as amended incorporating the TAC’s findings pursuant to Rule 61G20-2.002 and the RCCIWG’s comments. Commissioners should pull-off any amendment(s) that would prevent them from voting to approve the consent agenda of matrices recommended for approval by TAC and as posted to the BCIS.

2. Matrices of I-Code Changes Not Recommended for Approval: There is no action required

regarding Chart #2: “Tracking Charts with TAC Actions—“No Action”. If a Commissioner wishes to consider any of the 2018 I-Codes amendments on the “Matrices of I-Code Changes With No Action” they should pull these amendment(s) for individual consideration. There will be no action taken on these matrices with the exception of any amendments pulled for individual consideration.

3. Amendments Pulled for Individual Consideration: Amendments pulled for individual consideration for the purpose of approval require a motion to approve and a second. The Commissioner making the motion to recommend inclusion of a specific 2018 I-Code change shall identify why the 2018 I-Code change is needed to accommodate the specific needs of this

state (Florida) by identifying the relevant criteria used for the determination pursuant to Rule 61G20-2.002 including the following:

a. Establish minimum life safety construction requirements to protect buildings and their occupants from fire, wind, flood, and storm surge using the latest technical research and engineering standards for buildings and materials products.

b. Provide for flood protection provisions that are consistent with the latest flood protection requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program.

c. Maintain eligibility for federal funding and discounts from the National Flood Insurance Program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

d. Provide for energy efficiency standards for buildings that meet or exceed the national energy standards as mandated by Title III of the Energy Conservation and Protection Act.

e. Maintain coordination with the Florida Fire Prevention Code.

f. Provide for the latest industry standards and design.

Amendments pulled for individual consideration for the purpose of “no action” require no motion or affirmative action by the Commission unless the Commission decides to approve the amendment. Additionally, the comments provided by the Residential Construction Cost Impact Workgroup should be considered regarding amendments that are considered impactful by the Workgroup. Following is the process used for public comment:

Ø Facilitator will introduce 2018 I-Code changes by “Consent Agendas Recommended for Approval” by TAC in turn (each consent agenda reflects multiple matrices with amendments within the TAC’s purview).

Ø The public will be invited to speak on any of the I-Code changes (“Consent Agenda Recommended for Approval” or “Matrices of I-Code Changes With No Action”) by TAC in turn as introduced by the Facilitator, with a 3-minute time limit. The commenter should address why they think the Commission should or should not recommend including the change into the 7th Edition (2020) FBC.

Ø A member of the public requesting individual consideration of an I-Codes change, either for or against, should address why the 2018 I-Code change is or is not needed to accommodate the specific needs of this state (Florida) by identifying the relevant criteria used for the determination pursuant to Rule 61G20-2.002 and provided in the previous section.

Ø If there is public comment requesting approval of an I-Code change not on a “Consent Agenda Recommended for Approval”: proponents in favor of including the I-Code change into the 7th Edition (2020) FBC will speak first.

Ø Opponents of including the I-Code change into the 7th Edition (2020) FBC will follow proponents. Ø If there is public comment requesting denial of an I-Code change on a “Consent Agenda

Recommended for Approval”: opponents of including the I-Code change into the 7th Edition (2020) FBC will speak first.

Ø Proponents of including the I-Code change into the 7th Edition (2020) FBC will follow opponents. Ø There will be no rebuttal opportunities for this Phase.

ATTACHMENT 3 FLORIDA BUILDING COMMISSION HISTORY AND OVERVIEW

HISTORY

Following Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Florida experienced record-breaking insurance losses resulting in a crisis affecting every homeowner in the state. The Governor appointed a Building Code Study Commission, The Florida Conflict Resolution Consortium designed and facilitated a two-year study and deliberation process with the 28 members representing a range of interests in the public and private sectors, through which the Commission evaluated the building code system. The study revealed that building code adoption and enforcement was inconsistent throughout the state and even local codes thought to be the strongest proved inadequate when tested by major hurricane events. The consequences were devastation to lives and economies and a statewide property insurance crisis. The Commission recommended reform of the state building construction system which placed emphasis on uniformity and accountability. The legislature enacted the consensus recommendations into law in 1998. In late 1998, the Consortium was asked by the Commission's chair to assist the newly created Florida Building Commission in its effort to build consensus for a uniform building code proposal. A complex consensus building process was put in place that included designing and facilitating meetings of 12 balanced technical advisory groups of 11 members each appointed by the Commission, as well as the Commission's meetings. The FCRC Consensus Center at FSU continues to work with the Commission by providing facilitation and consensus-building services. OVERVIEW

COMMISSION REPRESENTATION. The Florida Building Commission is a 27-member representative stakeholder group who successfully created, implemented, and maintains the new statewide Florida Building Code. The Commission is comprised of the Chair, and 26 members appointed to represent specific stakeholder groups. They are as follows: four code officials, two state government representatives, a local government representative, a representative of persons with disability, a structural engineer, a mechanical engineer, representatives of fire protection technology, the building management industry, and the insurance industry, a general contractor, residential contractor, mechanical contractor, plumbing contractor, electrical contractor, roofing/sheet metal/air conditioning contractor, a manufactured building representative, a building product manufacturer, a swimming pool contractor, a representative of the green building industry, a natural gas system distribution representative, and a member representing the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Office of Energy.

FBC Facilitator’s Commission Summary Report 21

CONSENSUS PROCESS. The Florida Building Commission (FBC) seeks to develop consensus decisions on its recommendations and policy decisions. General consensus is a participatory process whereby, on matters of substance, the members strive for agreements which all of the members can accept, support, live with or agree not to oppose. In instances where, after vigorously exploring possible ways to enhance the members’ support for the final decision on substantive decisions, and the Commission finds that 100 percent acceptance or support is not achievable, final decisions require at least 75 percent favorable vote of all members present and voting. This super majority decision rule underscores the importance of actively developing consensus throughout the process on substantive issues with the participation of all members and which all can live with and support. The Commission’s consensus process is conducted as an open public process with multiple opportunities for the public to provide input to the Commission on substantive issues. At each Commission meeting, the public is welcome to speak during the public comment period provided for each substantive issue under consideration, as well as general public comment periods provided at the end of each day’s meeting. In addition to these opportunities for public input, most complex substantive issues before the Commission go through a consensus process where recommendations are developed by appointed representative stakeholder groups. Since its formation in July of 1998, the Commission has demonstrated a commitment to working with affected interests to build consensus on complex issues. The adoption of the first edition of the Florida Building Code (2001 Edition), developed from September 1998 through January of 2001, involved 27 Commission meetings, dozens of facilitated public workshops and hundreds of TAC meetings. The Commission has consistently worked with all affected interests to build the best possible consensus-based decisions for the citizens of Florida. Through its committees and workgroups comprised of experts, the Commission has always developed its decisions based on the results of the best engineering and science available. Since 1999 the Commission has convened 64 special issue stakeholder workgroups to develop broad based consensus recommendations on issues of concern to stakeholders. Although the Code is by law a minimum building code, the Florida Building Code is the strongest consensus and science based building code in the country.
